Oleg Troyanovsky
Composer
Based in New York and trained at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Troyanovsky writes concert, film, theater, and interactive music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, Helikon-Opera, and others. In 2015 he received the Prix Italia Grand Prix for Encrypted in Music, a documentary exploring hidden codes in musical works from the sixteenth century to the present, and the Prix Europa for a radio-symphony project the same year. In 2020 he was among the winners of the HBO / Warner Bros. Westworld Scoring Competition.
Troyanovsky’s interest in musical cryptography has shaped much of his work — from large symphonic compositions to sound installations, including From the Dead House, presented at the Mead Art Museum, Amherst college (Amherst, MA) in 2025. This exploration of meaning embedded in sound ultimately led to SELENUS, which began as a one-of-a-kind wedding gift: an original piano single encoding two names and a commemorative date.
